What would happen if a chick had nothing to imprint on, not even hatchmates, or if it couldn't see anything? What would that chick act like?

I don't know, as that would be very cruel to do to a baby, so no one would or should do it.

hey do you guys know about

the history of the bus?

they started as an "omnibus" a horse drawn two stop back and forth along a pre determined route! then they added more stops! they messed with the size of the omnibus and the number of horses until they hit the right size for the route!

(blease note these are intra-city buses, stagecoaches would go outside the city to specific locations and they generally required a reserved seat)

they basically SLAPPED A ROOF AREA to get roof passengers! double deck omnibuses!

then we get MOTOR OMNIBUSES! as the petrol engine is getting better! for context the first motor omnibus ran in 1899 - this is 13 years after the patent for the first petrol engine car (1886), 74 years after the first steam public railway in england (1825) and 36 years after the london underground was opened (1863). by 1911 there were no horse-drawn omnibuses owned by the london general omnibus company!

AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! (please look at the number of BUSES and INDIVIDUAL CARRIAGES [usually hired cabs] and PEDESTRIANS)

a lot of places switched to electric trams in the 1910s, public transport became reliant on the comparatively more efficient light rail or tram systems. the trams gave way to electric buses in london in 1930! they were much less dangerous than trams as people did not have to walk right into traffic to get on em

then as engines got more efficient trolleybuses were switched with petrol engine buses

then in the 1950s more people got cars and they began dominating the streets and creating.. traffic and. traffic laws. and stuff.

thanks for coming to my whistlestop bus lesson hope u have a brilliant day

Day 2: Home

sometimes it's hard to think of the shadow of a castrum as "home", but... it's much harder to deny the effect the Shroud and its people have had on him.

[super-duper-stupor]

Well color me traumatized, I survived a massive thunderstorm that was predicted to be tornadic, which at the time of said trauma I felt incredibly guilty for since i was the one to suggest we go to a place with a basement since we don't have one here and my mom's friend invited us to her house with a basement and she lives like 3 minutes away from us and i assumed the storm was still quite a ways out. So we were on our way to shelter when the massive wall of wind, rain and hail overtook us on the highway and was strong enough to push our car sideways even when it was still. And I was scared and hella overstimulated as well because it was so loud that we couldnt hear each other speak due to the high velocity of the hail and rain hitting the windows. If i wasnt already afraid of high winds before well i sure am now brother🫠

But one must go beyond encircling flames. Ancestor worship is a process. The exact nature of the relationship between an ancestor and their descendant is always to be determined. The sun on the wall, to the right of the mirror, is hot, and in the shape of a portrait, from which individual personality has been effaced.

Why do I keep accidentally maiming spiders 😟

(Okay it’s only happened one other time and in neither instance was it definitive that I was the offender but still)

A little flower crab spider. Found it attached to my broom by a thread when I was sweeping pollen (which to be fair was almost exactly the same color and shape as this thing from a distance). Carefully detached it once I saw it move in a way that pollen generally does not, but it was already missing two front legs on his right side. Neighbors might have seen me staring at my cupped hands and whispering “I’m a monster” for a minute or so.

Two items of good news here: 1) it fairly easily scaled the plant I set it onto and ballooned itself away so it’s okay for now, and 2) at its current (tiny) size and juvenile appearance, it’s pretty unlikely that it’s had its final molt yet, so apparently the legs might grow back!

I'm not sure what anyone's getting out of setting of fireworks in the fog, but by the sounds of it, there are loads of them (some quite loud, which I assume means big/expensive).
